Why is WELL down?
by Bradley W. Dolan 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

My favorite net access provider, the WELL, is down and I can't get a straight answer from the normally frank WELL folks why. Is there a net.guru out there that might have any insight into whether this shutdown is technical or political? Brad Dolan

A small part-15 (900Mhz) $500 radio modem This seems to be one of these devices which use the celular phone network. In Germany they are also available ("Modacom") and use the D1/D2/E-Plus networks. These networks can localize a sender in many cases with a precision of about 20-40 meters. Not the best way to keep the physical location secret... Hadmut

procmail: another question

Please excuse my ignorance, but will procmail run under DOS? Will it download mail from a PopMail server?

"safe" Internet access
by nelson＠crynwr.com 17 Dec '03

If you want to access the Internet in a way that doesn't reveal your physical location (much), buy access from Metricom. They sell Internet access via radios. A small part-15 (900Mhz) $500 radio modem is needed, plus a few dozen bucks/month (thereabouts). If you use a yagi antenna, that will reduce your emissions to mostly one direction. If you're in line-of-sight with one of their poletops, you can point a telescope in that direction, and transmit only when you *don't* see a truck bristling with antennas. Every radio has a serial number, and they record who's got what, so they could cut you off much, much easier than catching you. For more information, see <http://www.metricom.com>. Same thing can be done with radiomail, but the speed is slower and the radios and service are more expensive. And, they can still cut you off. Of course, part-time connectivity is problemmatic, because you need to receive mail at all times. Of course, you could use a mail hub in a "safe" country, but then you're tied to a government again. -- -russ <nelson(a)crynwr.com> http://www.crynwr.com/crynwr/nelson.html Crynwr Software | Crynwr Software sells packet driver support | ask4 PGP key 11 Grant St. | +1 315 268 1925 (9201 FAX) | What is thee doing about it?

Data Havens..A consumer perspective

1. You have what I want or need. 2. In order for me to let you store it, I will give it to you anyway you wish to get it. 3. I will let you do anything to the data you wish, so long as I get it back intact. 4. It is no concern (only idle curiosity maybe) where the data is parked. 5. I would expect to pay money for the safekeeping of my data. 6. I would expect the longer you hold the data, the more it will cost. 7. The only thing I am counting on is the data's timely retrieval. 8. Welcome to the world of data "coatchecking". Why make it more complex than this? >From the moment the data leaves their hands, until I return it, they have no right, nor I no obligation, to divulge anything about it. For they already would know, it would take a few minutes to retrieve it. For whether it's encrypted to the nth degree, or parked in a plain brown wrapper in a massive unix box somewhere, as long as I the haven manager, return the data in a safe, timely, uncorrupted manner, I've done my duty.
